The new catalogue of Lafayette
college contains full description of
the several courses of instruction and
the prizes and honors that await the
successful student. The large public
reading-room, the libraries number
ing over twenty thousand volumes,
and the new gymnasium for taking
physical exercise in winter, are spec
ially worthy of mention. The Fac
ulty of Lafayette evidently intend
to MAINTAIN its reputation as an in
stitution where thorough and solid
education can be obtained at mod
crate cost.
OF the two hundred and forty.s sew
en- students enrolled, 1913 are from
Pennsylvania, and represent 80 diff
erent counties. The remainder come
from fifteen other states.

The memory of Thomas Jefferson
and the principles of Jeffersonian de-
mocracy were worthily eulogized in
this city upon the occasion of the in.
augural ofthe Jeffersonian Democratic
Club. What Jefferson and Jefferson,
ian Democracy received in the way of
praise, however, Civil Service Re.
form got with the sting Of scorn full
upon it. 1t is now definitely settled
that the Jeffersonian democracy of
this State can stand pretty much ev-
erything but Civil Service Reform.

TerrOr-Stricken People.

ATLANTA, GA, March 24.-There
is great excitement among the color
ed people and the ignorant whites
along the base of the KeneSaW Noun
tain, in Cobb and Gordon counties.
For some time cOlored girl named
Lille Marles, near Calhoun, has
claimed to hold converse with the
angels, who told her many wonder,
full events of the future. She was
commanded to ascend the neighbour
ing hill, where she would have a
revelation made to her, She return
ed in deep ecstacy.
She claimed that when she reached
the top an angel lifted her high up
in the air, whence she could overlook
the world. "Ail shall be DESTROYED"
On the first Saturday in December
next an earthquake will swallow up
Calhoun. This will be accompanied
by whirlwind. Then a great fire
will burn all that is left, and woe I'M
to him who is not ready for the great
day." Many other things were said,
all of which is listened to with the
greatest interest by the colored peo-
pie. The excitement thus created
has been famed into a fierce flame
by tine appearance of a Greek cross
suspended over Mount Kenesaw. 1t
looked as if it was of rainbow origin.
After hanging for half an hour before
the astonished citizens, it slowly dis
solved.
Several times since the apparation
has been witnessed, and thus the ter
ror. which at first was confined to the
negroes. has now extended TO tine
whites, and the result is prayer
meetings of great interest. The first
Saturday in December is looked for
ward to as day of terror.

A very peculiar case has just been
tried in Baltimore. A colored man.
by the name of Burgess, accused
Sheriff Fledderman with having
bribed him. The Grand Jury inves-
tigated the charge, the result being a
refusal to find true bill against the
Sheriff. Mr.. Fledderman then charg-
ed the man Burgess with perjury.
The Grand Jury indicted him, and
after seven days trial, concluded on
Wednesday of last week by the jury
returning verdict of not guilty. in
twenty minutes after the leaving the
court room. The prompt acquittal
of Burgess was a severe imputation
upon the Sheriff, in view of the siren
uous efforts made by him to secure
conviction.

Many years ago the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company proposed to
build road from Wheeling to Bal
timore through the southwestern
counties of Pennsylvania. The pro-
ject aroused opposition among the
bucolicaI gentlemen distributed along
the proposed line AS vehement as that
with which our fathers met the ty-
rannous acts of England. So furious
did it become that the company were
compelled to abandon the proposed
route for the present far less favor
able one through Virginia. Though
perhaps none of them had even seen
IA railroad, they possessed the idea
that evils innumerable would follow
in its train. They urged that it
would destroy the market for horses,
the raising of which they were large
~ engaged in, The lives of the nom
adic cows and hogs would he per-
pelualiy in danger, and society cor
pOrated from its rural purity. A
kind of indignation meeting WAS held
at the country store, at which one
speaker, after descanting ON these
evils, capped his climax AS follows:
II tell ye what, lI'll never do to hev
a railroad through this yere kentry.
We could never keep our fences up,
cause every time they'd break rail
they'd think nothin' of takiu' one
right off n mans fence. "-Hdrptr s

Election Notice.

In obedience to an ordinance passed
on the 9Th of August, 1887, by the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the
town of Milan, in which the Consta-
BILE was ordered to open and hold an
election on the 18th day of Sept,
1887, at every voting place of said
town to ascertain the will of the quail
fled voters of Milan on the subject of
making a subscription of SIS 600 in
bonds to the Tennessee Central d
Alabama Railroad as provided in said
ordinance, l will, on the said 18th
day of September, 1887, open and
hold an election for said purpose as
provided in said ordinance. Those
favoring said subscription will have
written or printed upon their tickets
the words "For subscription" and
those opposed the words "No subscriP'
iion." This 18th August, 1887.

The proposition OF the Tenn. Cent.
q Ala. road has been submitted to
the people of Milan, and will be voted
upon the 18th Of September. Tren-
ton voted $40, 900 to this road almost
without a dissenting vote, and why
can't we, a town as large as Trenton,
if not larger, vote $4,000 for the
road? Why some people obiecK 4
this road we canaot see, and if ley
look at the question properly and
right they cannot but help to see that
if they vote against the road that it
will be detrimental to our welfare
and prosperity? We are glad to
state, however, that some who were
bitterly opposed to this enterprise
have wheeled into line and will work
and vote for the road, and it is to be
hoped that before the election all will
cOpaN-Out in favor of, and make the
vote for the proposition almost if not
unanimously. This road will open up
vast iron beds and forests of almost
incalcnlable value. The building Of
this road will lift Milan to an eleva'
ton that will attract the attention Of
all capitalists and cause the erection
of manufactures, etc., and, in fact
capitalists are already looking to-
wards here, and We learn that gen
tleman from the northwest will b.
here to-day prospecting and looking
for location to plant a large hui
and spoke factory. He has heard o
our town and our facilities and desire
TO place his factory here, and if Thu
road is built he, to q certainty, viii
erect the factory. If this road come
here, and beyond doubt it will, tn

ocean generally consists of bed of

suppose that a soil bed Of rock ex>

If We find rock at this depth, my Opin.

The value of good gas well to
Milan can not be ovOr estimated; at
present we have about four hundred
dwellings and business houses that av-
erage two fires each during winter
months, the average cost for fuel and
light, with wood, coal and oil, is about
fifty dollars each per year. The cost
of feul and light with natural gas as
per rates charged in Hartford City,
would be about sixteen dollars per
annum for each house, saving Of
thirty.four dollars to each house in
favor of natural gas, or saving to
the town of Milan of $4,000 per
annum' A good gas well here would
not only enhance the value of our
property from fifty to one hundred
per cent, but it would bring manu-
factories here and our population
would increase ten to fifteen thousand
in less than FIVE years, manufacturing
interests will come here to save money
by the use of the gas.
One firm has decided to locate at
Hartford City, which will save SlO,-
600 per year by using the gas for
their engines and furnaces. 1t costs
the Maomee rolling mills at Toledo
o., two hundred dollars per day to
heat their furnaces with coal, it costs
them thirty-seven dollars per day to
heat them with gas, saving to them
of one hundred and sixty-three dollars
per day.
Large rolling mills will have to be
built somewhere to work up the end

(now about to be built. IF we sue
